A Prayer of Refuge and Strength
““Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.” ”
Heavenly Father,
We approach Your throne of grace today acknowledging that You alone are our rock and our salvation. You are our fortress, and because of You, we will not be shaken.
Lord Jesus, since all power and authority has been given unto you, we lift up every teacher. Strengthen them when the work feels heavy. Be their refuge when they are weary, their wisdom when decisions are difficult, and their peace in moments of pressure. Remind them that their calling matters and that their labor is seen and honored by You.
We also lift up every student. Help them to know You as their Rock! Be their steady foundation in times of uncertainty. When they feel overwhelmed, afraid, or unsure of their future, anchor them in Your truth. Help them to learn with confidence, grow with integrity, and walk in the path You have prepared for them.
God, we place our salvation, honor, and hope in You. Let classrooms be places of growth, safety, and purpose. As Your Spirit moved upon the face of the deep (Genesis 1:2), moved upon the face of every school with Your presence, and teach us all to stand firm on You, our mighty Rock and Refuge.
We trust You completely, knowing that in You, we will not be shaken.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
